converting vb6 to b4a

[suciwulans]

I have code visual basic convert to b4a. unfortunately i still confuse how to convert my program(vb6) to b4a. here my code:

Option Explicit
Private Declare Function GetTickCount Lib "kernel32" () As Long
Dim responseText As String

Private Sub Command1_Click()
txt_kirim = "00KSCIO 000000" 'set address 00.00
Sending
End Sub

Private Sub Command2_Click()
txt_kirim = "00KRCIO 000000" 'reset address 00.00
Sending
End Sub

Private Sub Form_Load()
portChoice.ListIndex = 0

enableChoice (False)
End Sub
Private Sub openPort()
Dim sformat As String
If MSComm1.PortOpen = True Then Exit Sub
sformat = baudChoice.List(baudChoice.ListIndex) + "," _
+ Mid(parityChoice.List(parityChoice.ListIndex), 1, 1) + "," _
+ dataBitChoice.List(dataBitChoice.ListIndex) + "," _
+ stopBitChoice.List(stopBitChoice.ListIndex)
MSComm1.Settings = sformat
MSComm1.CommPort = portChoice.ListIndex + 1
MSComm1.PortOpen = True
'appendlnResponse ("COM" + Str(MSComm1.CommPort) + _
' ": Open at " + MSComm1.Settings)
enableChoice (False)
End Sub

Private Sub closePort()
If MSComm1.PortOpen Then
MSComm1.PortOpen = False
enableChoice (True)
End If
End Sub
Private Sub enableChoice(state As Boolean)
portChoice.Enabled = state

Dim rstr As String

Next
result = Hex(result)

End Sub
Private Sub ExitButton_Click()

End
End Sub
Private Sub Clear()

End Sub
Private Sub appendlnResponse(s As String)

Public Function sendCommand(cmd As String)
Dim duration As Long

End Sub

problems:
1. how to convert gettichkcount in b4a
2. how to convert command str , hex, xor
3. how to convert call
4. how to convert end function

thanks.

to Erel:
give me a clue for solving this problem. thanks:sign0085:

For future reference, use

 tags. It's much easier to read code when you do.

[QUOTE]4. how to convert end function[/QUOTE]
Functions are nothing more than subs that return values, like so:

[code]Sub Return1 (vars As Int) As String
   Return "1"
End Sub

That snippet is a function named Return1 that takes an int as an argument, and returns a string.
